Gnome DIA change User Interface Language

Question

I am currently using DIA to create Er diagrams. The user interface language is "GERMAN". I would like to change it to "ENGLISH". Does any1 have idea how I could do this?

I did a little bit of research and found that I have to delete the lib/locale folder and DIA will set EN as default lanmguage. I did so but still german is set as a default language.

My operating system : Windows 7 licence version Language : German

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You must change the environment variable LANG and set up to "en_EN". You can do it opening a terminal (executing the command "cmd") and typing:

C:\>SET LANG=en_EN

And then launching Dia, for example:

C:\>"C:\Program Files\Dia\bin\diaw.exe"

It works for me in Windows XP.

But you should have made the installation of Dia with all the locales.

Answer 2

or you can make environment variable in advanced system settings in control panel -> Variable name: LANG Variable value: en_EN

This you can make to not always typing thats commands in cmd.

Answer 3

Go to the following path:

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Dia \ locale

Rename the folder for the code language that you do not want the program to be offered by any name you want. Repeat the process on the following path:

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Dia \ lib \ locale

Repeat the same process as well as on the following path:

C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Dia \ share \ locale
